Peter Teuben's main interests are in galactic dynamics and
hydrodynamics, and in community software development. Using numerical
simulations (NEMO),
he studies hydrodynamics in barred galaxies, for
comparison to mm-wavelength molecular observations from BIMA and CARMA.
The basic models study gas flow in single bars; more recently, simulations
with double bars and other refinements are being developed. He has a
long-term involvement in development of community software for
visualization and analysis of N-body and related simulations (NEMO and
Starlab, and Tipsy++). Recently, he has become involved in the
international Virtual Observatory (VO) effort, developing the idea of
incorporating various types of "theory data" in the VO.
